It was a cold day, and I had no desire to drive up the winding mountain road to my daughter Carolyn’s house, but she had insisted (坚持) that I must come to see something at the mountain top.
So here I was, unwillingly making the journey through fog. When I saw how thick it was near the top, I’d gone too far to turn back.
▲ , I thought as I moved along the dangerous road.
“I’ll stay for lunch, but I’m going back as soon as the fog lifts. I announced when I arrived.”
“But mom, I want you to see something at the top,” Carolyn said. “Could we at least do that ”
“How far is it ” I asked.
“About three minutes,” she said. “I’ll drive—I’m used to it.”
After ten minutes on the mountain road, I looked at her anxiously. “I thought you said three minutes.”
She smiled. “This is a detour (绕行的路) .”
Turning down a narrow track, we parked the car and got out. We walked along a path that was thick with old pine needles. Huge black-green evergreens towered over us in the woods. Gradually, the peace and silence began to fill my mind.
Then we turned a corner and stopped—and I gasped (倒抽气) in amazement. From the top of the mountain, sloping (倾斜) for several acres across valleys, were rivers of daffodils (水仙花) in brilliant bloom. A number of colors—from the palest ivory to the deepest lemon to the brightest orange—shone like a carpet before us. At the center flowed a waterfall of purple hyacinths (风信子) . Here and there were coral-colored tulips (郁金香) .
A series of questions filled my mind. Who created such beauty Why How
As we went to the house in the center of the field, we saw a sign that read, “Answers to the Questions I Know You Are Asking.”
The first answer was “One Woman—Two Hands, Two Feet, and Very Little Brain.”
The second “One at a Time.”
The third “Started in 1978.”
As we drove home, I was so moved by what we had seen, I could hardly speak.
“She changed the world,” I finally said, “One bulb (球茎) at a time. She started almost 50 years ago, probably just the beginning of an idea, but she kept at it.”
“Imagine, I said, if I’d had a goal and worked at it, just a little bit every day, what might I have accomplished ”
Carolyn looked at me, smiling. “Start tomorrow,” she said, “Better yet, start today.”
